Speaking about sheeple....

iPhone users are in plain sight at Microsoft. At the sprawling campus in the Seattle suburb of Redmond, Wash., workers peck away on their iPhone touch-screens in conference rooms, cafeterias and lobbies. Among the top Microsoft executives who use the iPhone is J Allard, who helped create the Xbox game console and is chief experience officer for the entertainment and devices division. Guess what device they will be using next......

At least toilet paper has a clearly defined purpose and use.

Where did i say that? Do you always argue both sides? lol



I do find it funny that YOU likened the iPad to tp though, quite funny. Would you consider the iPad single ply at this stage or 2 ply?

I'm not anti-Apple, I'm anti-fanboi....


carry on.

purposes correct?

This was the product:


Note the smooth rounded surfaces, very similar to an iPad.

Yep another one who likes to argue one side
with blinders on no less. Demonstrative lack
of vision typical for Windows fan boys ........
You probably bought one already and don't
have the guts to admit it.......

OBTW read the next post about the doctors
and tell us all how useless this device is........
Try to keep up technologist........

I agree. with the sales is all about marketing and hype and Nobody does it better than Apple. As far as usefullness I believe some folks in this
thread have already testified regarding that part.

Personally I don't know because I don't own one as of yet.
Of course other people like Doctors can speak for themselves.
For example....

Seems everybody is buzzing about Apple's new "magical and revolutionary" product, as the company calls it, and that includes MDs in between consultations or surgeries. One in five doctors say they plan to buy an iPad, according to a survey of 350 clinicians by the San Mateo medical software vendor Epocrates. But of course what do Doctors know?.....

Doctors diagnose the iPad's usefulness: vital signs looking good | Technology | Los Angeles Times
